Typical hazards & measures
- Sign-in and registration — Operate a sign-in register with emergency contacts noted. Mark any medical needs clearly and keep forms accessible. Only release youth to known carers if early pickup is needed, and record late arrivals/departures.
- Arrival and departure at venue — Provide lighting at entrances, position leaders to welcome and supervise, keep doors clear, and monitor traffic areas during drop-off/pick-up. Record attendance and ensure no one leaves unaccompanied without prior consent.
- Toilets and corridors — Keep corridors lit and clear, apply two-adult visibility where possible, and avoid leaders accompanying one youth alone. Check toilets are clean and free of hazards before sessions.
- Unsupervised visitors in building — Lock or control doors, post a leader near entrance, issue ID badges for team, and politely challenge unknown adults. Keep a visitor log when access is permitted.
- Fire evacuation — Keep exits clear, display evacuation plans, and brief youth on procedures. Assign leaders sweep and register roles, and practice termly drills. Gather at designated point for headcount.
